Le Sueur Jail Transfer Paths
A person may leave Le Sueur County Jail because another county or regional jail assumes custody. This can follow a warrant, an unresolved case elsewhere, a hold, court transport, or another legal basis shown by the agencies. The outgoing county roster may drop the name after movement, yet the person has not returned to the community.
The receiving jail controls its own custody and later release data. Le Sueur County controls the originating transfer entry. The relevant Minnesota court controls the order, warrant, or case disposition. Keeping those sources separate prevents a single charge status from being mistaken for an accomplished movement.
Le Sueur Transfer Clues
The timestamped Le Sueur County “In Custody” roster can show MNI, booking number, intake date, charges, bond fields, and free-text court or hold notes. HOLD FOR ANOTHER AGENCY is a strong clue that another custodian may receive the person. It is still attached to a record on a current-custody snapshot and does not prove the transfer has happened.
Other charge text has similar limits. SENT COMPLETE may apply to one matter while a hold remains. ROR'D may reflect recognizance on one case without clearing another basis for detention. BOND/BAIL SET says a condition exists, not that it was satisfied. Call the jail or request the completed entry to find out what occurred.
| Roster clue | What it can suggest | What it cannot prove |
|---|---|---|
| HOLD FOR ANOTHER AGENCY | A different custodian has a stated interest | That the transfer occurred or which facility received the person |
| SENT COMPLETE | A sentence or charge status may be complete | That all holds and cases cleared |
| ROR'D | Recognizance treatment on a matter | That physical release to the community happened |
| Name no longer displayed | The current roster changed | Release, transfer, time, legal basis, or destination |
Note: The generated roster timestamp shows when the snapshot was made, not a completed transfer time or a promised update cadence.
Confirm a Minnesota Jail Transfer
Begin with the booking that existed in Le Sueur County. The goal is to obtain the receiving agency, then move to that agency's official sources.
- Check the Le Sueur “In Custody” roster and record the snapshot time, full name, MNI, booking number, intake date, and any public hold note.
- Call Le Sueur County Jail at 507-419-0321. Ask whether the identified booking remains active and whether any completed movement was release or transfer.
- Request the public transfer entry from Sheriff Records. Ask for date, time, legal basis, and receiving agency under Minnesota Statutes § 13.82, subdivision 2.
- Open the receiving jail's official current roster and search Minnesota VINE using the correct county or facility.
- Use the court file or warrant number to check the legal basis. If the receiving jail later releases the person, obtain that agency's release event or record.
A two-source match is best. A Le Sueur transfer entry plus a receiving-jail roster establishes movement and current custody. A receiving-jail VINE release event plus that county's release record supports a later community release. A court order supplies the legal authority, but the jail entry supplies the operational timestamp.
For the originating facility's fields and contact route, use the Le Sueur County Jail release page. It also explains why roster absence alone is the weakest indicator.
Le Sueur Transfer Records
Minnesota law gives the originating agency a clear public-data role. Section 13.82, subdivision 2, expressly identifies the date, time, legal basis, and recipient of a custody transfer as public adult arrest data. It separately identifies the date, time, and legal basis of release. Asking for both alternatives prevents the request from assuming the outcome.

Fax: 507-357-8611
Use the Sheriff Data Request Form and identify one booking. The official Records page confirms the local request route. Ask for “the date, time, legal basis, and receiving agency of any transfer, or the date, time, and legal basis of release if no transfer occurred.” Add the full name, date of birth, booking number or MNI, and approximate intake date when known.
The form allows email, fax, mail, and delivery options and says contact data are optional, though remote delivery or clarification needs a way to respond. It says the Sheriff reserves the right to take up to ten days. No verified flat release-record fee was found. Ask for an electronic copy and a cost estimate.
Minnesota Receiving Jail Search
Other Minnesota county and regional jails are separate agencies. Their roster fields, update timing, notification participation, request forms, fees, and retention practices can differ. Do not copy Le Sueur County's details onto the receiving jail. Use the exact agency name from the transfer entry to find the official site.
A current receiving roster can confirm that the person appears in custody on its timestamped view. Minnesota VINE can supply a transfer, release, or other covered event for county detention, subject to the facility and record available in the system. The court file can show the warrant or order linked to the receiving county. None of these should be replaced with an unofficial multi-county list.
- Originating agency
- The jail that transferred the person and created the outgoing movement entry.
- Receiving agency
- The jail or authority that accepted custody.
- Hold
- A stated reason another matter or agency may prevent community release.
- Release entry
- The agency record of a completed departure, with date, time, and legal basis when public.
Search the receiving jail by the name and identity details used in its system. If no result appears, account for intake delay, spelling, release after arrival, or a further transfer. Then contact that custodian's records unit with the receiving date and identifiers.
Minnesota VINE Transfer Events
Minnesota VINE covers county jail and detention custody events. Search the person in the correct jurisdiction and facility. Registration is tied to the specific record, so a transfer may require checking the receiving facility or registering again as the service directs.
Read the event label carefully. A transfer indicates another custodian. General, court-order, and bond release describe distinct release bases. “Unsupervised custody” can include work release or electronic monitoring in VINE vocabulary. Escape, purged record, and death are separate notifications and not community discharge.
A VINE transfer event can be paired with the Le Sueur public transfer entry. If a later VINE release event comes from the receiving jail, request that jail's release record when a durable date and legal basis are needed.
Note: Minnesota Haven is the notification system after transfer into DOC prison custody; county VINE does not replace it.
Le Sueur Court Record Bridge
Le Sueur County case numbers use the county code in a form such as 40-CR. That number can connect a jail booking or warrant entry with the Le Sueur County District Court and Minnesota Court Records Online. The court register may show bail, release conditions, a warrant, a sentence, a transport order, or later probation action.
The Justice Center places Sheriff and Jail functions in Suite 1100, Probation in Suite 2300, and District Court in Suite 2400 at the same street address. Their records remain separate despite that location. The jail controls its movement time. The court controls its orders. Probation or DOC controls supervision data.
If another county's case caused the hold, search that county's case number and court. A Le Sueur court file cannot explain every external hold. Use the receiving-agency name and warrant or case identifier from the public records to find the right jurisdiction.
Release After Minnesota Jail Transfer
A later release belongs to the custodian that held the person at that time. Le Sueur County can document the outgoing transfer, but it should not be asked to certify a later event at an unrelated jail. Contact the receiving jail, use its VINE event, and review the court source that authorized the later change.
| Question | Responsible source |
|---|---|
| When did Le Sueur custody end? | Le Sueur Sheriff release or transfer entry |
| Which agency accepted the person? | Le Sueur transfer field |
| Is the person now held there? | Receiving jail's official current roster or direct contact |
| When did the receiving jail later release the person? | Receiving jail release record and VINE event |
| What order or warrant authorized custody? | Relevant Minnesota court file |
This chain also handles repeated transfers. Follow each documented receiving agency in order. Do not skip from the first roster disappearance to a claim about the final destination.
No Single Regional Facility
“Other Minnesota county or regional jails” is a receiving category, not one named building in Le Sueur County. The research did not identify a second local secure jail to use as a default. Therefore no shared street address, phone, visiting hours, release door, or transport procedure can accurately describe the category.
The exact facility must come from the transfer entry. Once named, use that jail's official contact information and current rules. This approach avoids inventing a receiving location and respects the fact that Minnesota local agencies maintain their own records.
If the recipient is Minnesota DOC, BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE rather than another local jail, switch to that system's status route. The agency named in the public movement record controls the next step.
